being implemented; (3) repeat the notification every five years after the initial
notification; and (4) keep copies of all notifications and all written integrated pest

Department, on forms provided by the Department, that the development and
implementation of an integrated pest management program is not economically
feasible; (2) include in the notification the projected pest control costs for the term
